Concern: Jean-Claude Van Damme has denied suffering a minor heart attack on set (Pictured here with his family at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year)

'Hours ago, I read a rumor online about me suffering heart attack!!' he wrote on his personal page.

'Please, do not believe all what you read from rumors on any unofficial JCVD sites. Jean-Claude Van Damme is 100% healthy, training well for taking the fight and sending his fans & friends much love. — JCVD.'

It had been reported that the star was hospitalised after suffering the attack while shooting his latest film Weapon.

Production on the film had been taking place in Romania until last week when the cast and crew flew to New Orleans for three days of filming.
